The First Men

In the beginning, so long ago When the world was young, yet to grow There stood the first men, brave and strong With hearts fierce, and wills unyielding long Their skin was roughened by the sun Their hair, wild and woolly, undone They walked the earth, unafraid and free Living each day, wild and full of glee The first men roamed the land without control Far from the structures and comforts of the modern soul Hunting and gathering, they made their way Living in pure, simple ways They slept under the stars, on the ground Ate what they found, with no limits bound The earth was their home, and they knew it well Surviving with skill, no one could compel Their spirits were strong, and their hearts pure They lived each day, unsure of what would occur For the first men, life was a grand adventure Their stories and legends, still told with pleasure Though time has passed and the world has changed The first men's legacy forever remains They were the pioneers, who paved the way For us to live and thrive, each and every day.
